Abstract

The possibility of an X-ray laser by irradiation of muon beams on a thin rod of deuterium-tritium mixture is discussed. The excited state of dtμ-mesomolecules (J, v) = (1, 0) can be induced to make radiative chain transitions with photon energy of 90 eV to the ground state (0, 0), evacuated by fusion.
